A geometric, modular sans with faceted construction: curves are largely replaced by straight segments and chamfered joins, creating squared counters and clipped terminals. Strokes are heavy and consistent, with generous interior spacing and rectangular apertures that keep forms open at display sizes. Corners are softened into rounded rectangles in some places while other joins remain sharply angled, producing a distinctive mix of smooth and mechanical. The overall rhythm is uniform and grid-like, with evenly distributed widths and tightly controlled spacing that reinforces a systemized, engineered look.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, titles, posters, and identity marks where the faceted details can read clearly. It also fits interface-style applications—game UI, dashboards, and tech-themed graphics—where a modular, system font feel is desirable. For long passages, it works most comfortably at larger sizes with ample leading to preserve clarity.
The tone reads decisively futuristic and machine-made, evoking digital interfaces, arcade hardware, and industrial labeling. Its faceted geometry and broad stance convey confidence and a utilitarian, high-tech attitude, with a playful retro-computing edge in text settings.
The design appears aimed at delivering a compact, engineered voice: a geometric sans that swaps traditional curves for planar facets to signal technology, machinery, and digital culture. The consistent, system-like construction suggests an intention to feel precise and programmable while remaining visually bold and attention-grabbing.
Many characters use squared bowls and counters (notably in B, D, O, P, and 0), with horizontal cuts and notches that add a technical, stencil-like flavor without fully breaking the strokes. Diagonals are clean and planar, and letters like K, M, N, V, W, X, and Y emphasize angular symmetry. Numerals are similarly blocky and engineered, keeping a consistent visual language across the set.
